Solve for the values of \(x\) and \(y\) in the equation:

\[2x + 3y = 19\]

Asked by Loripatricelli

Answer (2)

So this is a coordinate system so put it into y=mx+b format so 3y+2y=19 3y=19-2x Y=(-2x+19)/3 Y=-2/3x+19/3 19/3=6 and 1/3 So y=-2/3x+19/3 Put in values for x and y and get answers exg If you put in 3 For x then Y=-2+19/3 19/3=6 and1/3 -2+6 and 1/3=4 and 1/3 X=3 and y=4 and 1/3 (or 13/3)

To solve the equation 2 x + 3 y = 19 , we isolate y to get y = 3 19 − 2 x ​ . We can then plug in various values for x to find corresponding values of y that satisfy the equation. For example, if x = 3 , then y = 3 13 ​ or approximately 4.33.
